31.   For example, the Pima Indians with the mutation suffered an earlier onset of diabetes and had a lower resting metabolic rate than those without it.

32.   In general, smaller animals have higher temperatures because they have higher metabolic rates.

33.   In addition, many have thyroid problems, leading to a slower metabolic rate.

34.   Most of these activities also increase muscle strength, which can enhance the ability to lose excess weight by raising the metabolic rate every minute of the day.

35.   Not only does it raise your metabolic rate, but it also is a mood elevator.

36.   People are trying to diet their genetics away, she said, adding that much of our weight and metabolic rate is inherited.

37.   People also adjust their metabolic rates and food intake when their body fat is greatly altered.

38.   Rats, for example, have a metabolic rate eight times as fast as humans.

39.   Regular aerobic exercise and any activities that increase muscle mass not only use extra calories during exercise, but can also raise the resting metabolic rate.

40.   The gene was theoretically linked to obesity because it directs fat cells to make a protein that increases the metabolic rate.
